30-Day Challenge: Day 7

Day 7

Day 7: Your dream wedding

I’m a few days behind already in this 30-day challenge. The past few days practically swallowed me whole–both deliberately and accidentally. Another reason why I had to pause for a while in my updates is because this Day 7 challenge entails a lot of thinking. Sure I have my dream wedding, but the details are just figments of my imagination. I can barely describe them vividly. But I tried to. And these are what I came up with.

I want to get married when I’m 25 or maybe, 26. I’m 23 years old now. I have roughly 2-3 years to hunt look for a groom and save for my dream wedding. Honestly, I actually want to settle down already. I want to know how it feels like to be united with someone you really love and care about for the rest of your life. I don’t want to think I’m rushing things, but I always feel like time’s passing me by just like that. Everything’s happening so fast, I’m having a real hard time keeping up. But since I don’t have my “dream” husband yet, I guess I’ll just have to settle with these photos first to at least give whoever is reading this an idea of what my dream wedding looks like.

I like the wedding to be by the beach. I like its serenity. The sound of the crashing waves is music to my ears. It will just be us and Poseidon on that day.

I want the wedding motif to be white and Grecian. It’s classic, regal, and simple. I find the color really pure and sophisticated. It will rain georgettes and silk chiffons on my wedding day. Gowns will have drapes, ruchings, and bias cuts. As for mine, I want it to be just simple. I don’t have a design in mind yet, but it’ll just be simple. And sophisticated.

These are just a few of the gazillion things, which I need to prepare for to accomplish my dream wedding. I have no idea how much this entire thing will cost or if it will ever come true. This is just something I wish for anyways. At the end of the day, what will matter is the person I’ll spend the rest of my married life with. The dream wedding is just an icing on the cake. I care about my dream man more.

Day 6: A photo of an animal you’d like to keep as a pet

Can you see how cute this fluffy little creature is? I’ve been dying to have a real penguin for a pet. I only have the toy penguin my bestfriend gave me for Valentines Day two years ago. Although it’s cute and soft too, I still dream of getting the real one. Seeing them waddle and flap their wings is just an adorable sight to see. I’ve seen real penguins when I was on a trip and it was one of the most amazing things ever! I just wanted to hug them!

Day 5

Day 5: A photo of yourself two years ago

This photo was taken in May, 2008 at my Aunt’s humble abode in Mt. Eden, Auckland, New Zealand. God knows what I have gone through just to make this trip happen. It was Papa’s graduation gift to me. It was supposedly a month-long visit, but it got cut short because of some problems, which I unfortunately encountered a few weeks before the said trip.

If I can remember it correctly, this was taken on our last day at NZ. We had to go to our Uncle’s house at Te Atatu for a goodbye dinner.

Anyways, I look a lot thinner here. And younger. And I have long hair. I love looking at old photos. They make me realize how much I (and the people around me) have evolved over the years. Two years seems so short, but hey, anything can happen within that span of time.

Seeing myself grow and mature both physically and mentally is an achievement in itself. Everyday is a learning experience and we are only given two options whenever we wake up–to courageously take risks and learn from their consequences or to lock ourselves up in our own little world and waste every single second to learn and grow.

On another note, I promise myself to go back to New Zealand next year. 2011 should be an amazing travel year. I promise myself that. And when that time comes, it will not just be two or three weeks. Who knows, it could be forever?
